“To Europe’s great relief, the call for new elections in Ukraine — a point that European diplomats say was quietly removed from the American talking points after being initially mentioned as a potential condition — has for now been excluded. Nevertheless, Russia may still insist on it,” the report says.
What we’re seeing is “the great negotiator” dropping a completely reasonable and legitimate demand. That’s the art of the deal for you: if you can’t achieve it — just drop it. As for the Europeans, naturally, they’re relieved. But make no mistake: the elections will happen — once Russia achieves the objectives of the Special Military Operation.
